If you’re searching for a role where every single moment has the power to change a life, this is it.

Are you fueled by a deep passion to support young people navigating some of life’s toughest challenges? Do you have the strength, heart, and resilience to be a steady, compassionate presence for children who’ve experienced trauma?

At MacKillop Family Services, we don’t just provide accommodation - we create homes. Homes where children feel safe, valued, and supported to heal, grow, and imagine a brighter future.

We’re on the lookout for an experienced, empathetic, and unshakably resilient Residential Care Worker to join our vibrant and purpose-driven OOHC team. Our team doesn’t just work with young people – we walk alongside them, offering guidance, stability, and belief when they need it most.

If you're ready to be part of something deeply meaningful, where your compassion and courage can spark real change, we’d love to hear from you.

You must have a:

Valid and current Driver’s Licence;
Satisfactory Criminal History Check (paid for by MacKillop);
Valid Employee Working with Children Check;
Valid and current NDIS Workers Screening Check (for risk assessed / client facing roles). MacKillop can assist successful candidates with their application.
